Default I just pulled my bike out from storage

Did it last night. And guess what? It's ****ing snowing! Dammit! Plus my van won't start, so that'll make for some fun for getting to work tomorrow...

So I get to ride it one day... Bull****... What, another week or month before it gets nice again? It was going so well, too.

It is going to rain here all week. But that isn't so bad because all of the salt will be gone when it is nice again. Waiting for my new plugs anyway

I know how you feel. It was pouring down rain the day after I bought my new bike.

Salt would actually be nice. We have gravel... That sh*t sucks to stop on!

Yup, that tends to leave an everlasting memory.

Yep. Did some work for a customer after I was off setting up their TV and stand, got $50 under the table and gave them some Monster video cables I got for free, but I had to go back home a few blocks and get an S-video cable. Pulled out of their parking lot and slid on some gravel. I should've sued the complex or something. I put a dent in my exhaust and tank, bent my shifter peg, tore up my arm, leg, and pants, as well as f-ing up my brand new carbon-fiber styled (not even a week old on them) mirror , bar end, and clutch lever. I still had my old mirrors and replaced the destroyed signal within a couple days with my new signals.

I think it would actually fit if I removed the seat. I would just have to take out the rest of the junk that is crammed in there.

I could even bolt it down to the seat hooks in back. Just run my 2-piece steel ramps in a row and it can possibly come out easily. I thought about doing that, but it sounded like too much work. I had enough trouble fitting my mini chopper in the back. I need one of those mini rockets.

The training wheels are to prevent me from falling down again.

Actually, they came like that. I might sell it, so they're a good selling point for parents that want to buy it for their kid. I don't want to do too much work, especially if I can think of something that can prevent me from doing more work. I'd likely put neons under it before touching the training wheels. I've got some I've thought of using...

if its an astro, itll be tight but it will fit, my buddy had this idea of doing this to his astro like i wanted to do a e250 for his dirt bike and it worked [sm=icon_rock.gif]
